It is with great joy we share the news that The Reverend Andrew Colman will be ordained to the priesthood next week in Winnipeg. Andrew served in ministry at Christ Church a few years ago, and so we are also very excited to host his ordination party on Wednesday, August 23rd at 7pm. All are welcome! (In good church fashion, this is also a potluck, so if you’re able to bring a dish to share, that would be wonderful!)
Our magnificent three manual, tracker-action organ was installed in the chancel of the church in the spring of 1982 and dedicated to the Glory of God and in memory of those who died in the First World War and the Second World War.
The organ, built by the Karl Wilhelm Company of Mont St. Hilaire, Quebec, has a classical continental design. The case is made of white oak and the pipe shades are of carved butternut. Voiced in the classic French style, its 36 stops and 50 ranks are capable of interpreting a wide variety of organ literature.
Installation required considerable changes to the chancel including moving the altar forward and arranging choir seating to either side. These renovations prompted the design and production of our award-winning Benedicite Kneelers, done in needlepoint by a dedicated group of church members.
